What a first year for GRC!

From the humble beginning of being a simple idea over coffee, into a growing runners club now passing 140+ members, its been a fantastic journey.

When we launched GRC we had the simple idea of:

Free membership
Frequent runs around Geelong
A social community to celebrate runs + GRC vibes

Well I think we exceeded those marks, and we really couldn’t have done it without the support of our runners, along with the backing of our local business partners.

As I reflect on 2019, I thought it might be best to just list the achievements in a list:

FEB 19 - Launch of GRC
Launched Strava page and reached 100+ members in in a couple of weeks
Strava ‘Verified’ GRC as a top Run Crew
We launched our social media platforms and have 3,500+ followers on Instagram
GRC listed on ‘Running Crews’ - top run clubs around the globe
We welcomed support from Endura Sports Endurance, Geelong Osteopathy, & Nourishing Life Nutrition
Founders, Tristan & Leigh - ran around the Imperial Palace in Tokyo
GRC members took part in multiple races: Run the Gap, Geelong River Run, Lara Run, Run Melbourne, Bellarine Rain Trail, Melbourne Marathon, and more.
We held a total of 47 Club Runs during the year
We launched a GRC uniform
We welcomed Latrobe Health Centre & Pro Feet Podiatry as platinum sponsors to GRC
Finally, we met so many like minded runners along the way - everyone with their own goal, own ideas, and own story. We thank you for your support.

Im excited for 2020 and I believe we can take GRC to the next step. All we need is for members to come along now and again to a GRC run and keep the vibes flowing.
